So the same Russia telling Iran how to better kill Americans is now being rewarded by America?

As I’ve always said: billionaires pay tons of money to make you think your vote doesn’t matter. It’s insidious. Be very wary of anyone who tells you elections don’t matter, or that both sides are the same.

And, therefore, you will resist him at every turn, right? Right?

Sir Ian McKellen performing a monologue from Shakespeare’s Sir Thomas More on the Stephen Colbert show. Never have I heard this monologue performed with such a keen sense of prescience. Nor have I ever been in this exact historical moment.TY Sir Ian, for reaching us once again.

I once took a tour of ILM and got to see the pods for this movie – amazing designs!

Such a great movie - I look forward to hearing your insights!

It obviously doesn't mean that. What does he think was happening before ICE was created?

The killing of Alex Pretti and the grotesque lying was an overreach by the administration. They've paid a price and had to pull back a bit. But it's when there's some disarray that the democratic opposition needs to intensify the offensive, and turn a marginal tactical success into a major victory.

It would be nice to establish some basic facts - for example, how many cognitive tests has Trump taken in the last 6 months?

And, btw, it looks like he was filming. Where is his phone? Where is that footage? I think we know the answer. And we know we’ll never get to see it.

Wow! This read-along of the NYT moment-by-moment leading to the murder of Alex Pretti should shake everyone awake. He was a Good Samaritan.

Agents fired at least ten shots in roughly five seconds. DHS and Pam Bondi claim Pretti approached them armed and intent on a β€œmassacre.”

Here's a regular white guy (literally "Chad") not a protester. because, "It seemed pointless, or just a way for people to expiate their sense of guilt." Chad witnessed something shattering. And, that all changed in a moment.

Excellent article!

Steph Curry on watching the protests from his hotel window: "In negative 10-degree weather. It was beautiful to see that turnout. That speaks to how important people felt to have their voice heard. In those elements and whatever streets outside our hotel, they were out, and it was amazing to watch."

Looks like the guy who murdered him had a clear view of his empty holster.

I can't put into words the feeling of watching our government, a hive of evil antisocial filth, the absolute worst humanity has to offer, colliding with the best. Ordinary people trying to help each other, risking everything to stand up for what's plainly, unambiguously fair and right. It's unreal

#DubNation stands with the people of Minneapolis and all communities affected by ICE and federal agents’ actions of violence.

This goes beyond basketball. Lives are lost and many are hurting. Our thoughts are with grieving families and with everyone calling for peace, justice, and accountability.πŸ•ŠοΈβœŠ

What this government official is saying about the killing of a human being is not true. It’s not even close to true.
We cannot trust this government to tell the truth on any subject, even those of the greatest public importance.

Just your reminder that a film can receive zero Oscar nominations and still be a masterpiece. @mikeflanaganfilm.com @stephenking.bsky.social
